I am a Professor at the School
of Business and Management at Queen
Mary, University
of London. I joined Queen
Mary in October 2006 as a Senior Lecturer and became a Reader in October 2008
and then got promoted as Professor in October 2011. Prior to being at Queen
Mary, I spent nearly three years as a Lecturer at the Department of Economics, Loughborough University. Before that, I
worked as a Research Fellow for more than two years in the International
Economics Programme at the Royal
Institute of International Affairs, London. I also have experience working
as a Sovereign Research Analyst covering Asian emerging markets for nearly
three years (1999-2001) at JPMorgan
Chase (previously Chase Manhattan Bank),
based in Hong Kong. I began my research career in the early nineties
(1991-1995) at the Institute for Social and
Economic Change (with a year at Indian
Statistical Institute), Bangalore, India, followed by a Commonwealth Scholarship
to study for a Ph.D. in economics (1995-1998) at the University of Warwick, under the
supervision of Professor
Kenneth F. Wallis. I have published articles in several international
refereed journals as well as a book based on my Ph.D. dissertation, Modelling Macroeconomic Adjustment with
Growth in Developing Economies (Ashgate Publishing, 1999). My main
research interests include issues in international macroeconomics &
finance, and development policy. I am mainly an applied economist with a
longstanding interest in issues that concern macroeconomic policy,
international finance and development. I am particularly interested in
understanding more about how best to identify different policy shocks in
emerging markets.
